The Johnstone's Burnt Sugar Matt Emulsion Tester Pot is designed for DIY enthusiasts and homeowners looking to sample a rich, deep brown hue before committing to a full-room renovation. It provides a sophisticated, non-reflective matte finish that excels at hiding surface imperfections on walls and ceilings, making it an excellent tool for color testing; however, users should note that the 75ml pot is intended specifically for spot-testing and is not sufficient for covering large wall sections.

Yes, while designed for wall testing, the high-quality emulsion can be used for small craft projects where a flat matte finish is desired.
Two coats are recommended to see the true depth and opacity of the Burnt Sugar color.
It is best suited for walls and ceilings; for high-traffic areas, a more durable, wipeable finish may be preferred for the final full-scale application.
The paint is quick-drying, though we recommend waiting 2-4 hours for a full cure of the test patch.
We recommend against mixing paint types or brands as it can result in unpredictable finishes and adhesion issues.
Ensure the surface is properly primed and avoid over-brushing the paint once it begins to set.
Test the paint in multiple locations within the room to account for varying natural and artificial light sources.
Check that the room temperature is above 10 degrees Celsius and humidity levels are low.
Ensure the surface you are testing is clean, dry, and free from loose paint or dust before application. If the surface is porous, you may need a small amount of primer to get an accurate representation of the color. To care for your painted walls long-term, avoid abrasive cleaning materials as matte finishes can be sensitive to aggressive scrubbing. Store the tester pot in a cool, dry place away from extreme temperatures to keep the paint quality stable if you decide to keep the sample for later reference.
